This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.
You did not specify a model Macbook Pro so compare models and read the specs here: https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/
Flash storage can not be replaced buy a hard drive. If you want to add hard drive storage use an external hard drive.
In case you weren't aware, MacBooks come with really Really fast SSD Flash Drives wich save energy, are way more expensive and don't corrupt as fast, not normal HDDs. Otherwise you're not supposed to be able to change them, there are severe hard- and software restrictions. If you want a big and cheap hard drive consider buying a Mac Mini or iMac with a Fusion Drive.
Hi i actually mean to say, i want to buy macbookpro 15 inch with ssd and later i would like to install additional HDD for movies and extra stuff, like now a days in many brands SSDs are for OS for super fast speed and extra HDDs are for extra space.
You can get as many extra external usb HDDs as you want. There is no room in a Macbook Pro for an internal HDD. It is a laptop. What other laptops have you seen where you can add extra HDDs?
Nearly all the new laptops are coming with SSD for booting and HDD for storage option even if there is no SSD then you can install your own mSATA ssd which is more faster then SSD, i myself bought a windows laptop in 2007 at that time it was fine but after 2012 it started getting slower i checked the motherboard and there was space for SSD i quickly installed new SSD and it gave a new life to laptop, it is still working fine because of SSD but still i want to buy new laptop to upgrade, all windows laptops have ssd thing option except Apple macs but iSheeps don't see anything, i will stick to windows

OK I also use Windows. Windows runs well. Good luck getting a Windows laptop that meets your requirements. I'll just ignore your swipe at us Apple users who are trying to help you.
Step 16 of the

only shows one socket for a blade SSD. Thus, an additional internal SSD one can't be added
